Title: The Red Claws acquire Gabe Pruitt
Post by: clover on February 26, 2013, 05:15:06 PM: Jessica Camerato ‏@JCameratoNBA

Maine Red Claws have acquired former #Celtics guard (and 2008 championship team member) Gabe Pruitt from Sioux Falls Skyforce. #celticstalk

But why? He's terrible! Have the C's already soured on TWill, and are they getting ready to call up Shelvin Mack--so the Claws are looking for Mack's replacement?

Yeah, but he's Austin Rivers-bad while playing in the d-league!

Too bad his mind was more on booze than it was on basketball. Always felt he could have made something of himself.

As a career .321 shooter in the NBA, how good can that jump shot be?

Rondo is a career .481 shooter.

I was talking more about the mechanics than the result. I agree that he never shot well in games.
